Comments:
Crosby, Stills And Nash opened
Taper's comments;
During CSN's set, ALL of the members of the Grateful Dead were sitting at the side of the stage, watching CSN tear it up. They were having a good old time, it was nice to see them laughing and clapping for their old chums.

Subject: My hometown -- and I missed it
I was living in Chicago, going to grad school, on limited income, so naturally I figured 3 Tinley Park shows were enough. This is one I regret not going
...
to, though. A lot of the show was merely very good, ordinary songs well-played, but then there were the parts that were transcendent. Let It Grow for example. A really strong Let It Grow where Jerry doesn't get stuck playing the standard late 80's riff but rather all band members play intricate melodic lines that form contrapuntal patterns with one another -- that has to be one of the greatest musical experiences available on Earth. Then there's the trio of Eyes > Estimated > Terrapin, again, such musical interplay. Far better versions than the Tinley versions of each of these songs. Eyes taken at a faster, more danceable tempo. Estimated with its huge peak. Terrapin -- just a solid performance with a lovely outro jam. The visuals add plenty of psychedelia to the experience, so what are you doing here? Head on over to You Tube and look up View from the Vault!
Right now I'm thinking the top three from summer 90 are 7/12, 7/18, and this one.

It was hot and humid as hell. Getting into the lot was a long process even though we didn't get there that late. Once set up we took a lap to see friends
...
and what was up, everyone was being ultra careful it seemed. Probably in part to the trouble that ensued the previous spring at the civic arena which I unfortunitly witnessed from inside as gate crashers broke windows in front to storm in. There were all kinds of undercovers with communication devises scoping in to bust people Should have not taken that dose cuz it made me ultra paranoid inside. They had security on the floor scoping in on dudes unaware what was going on until it was too late and they got busted. After that I just went up in the stands and chilled. The show listening back was pretty good but I couldn't truly enjoy it.

Subject: Does the CSN set exist anywhere?
After scouring the parking lots in blazing heat for some paper a group of us gave up hope and headed for the entrance. On the way in I caught the eye of
...
a dude who looked like he had something and I guess he thought I looked like a guy who was looking for something. I scored and our entire group dropped and were on our merry way in.
Just as my mind and body began the trip a wave of CSN music flooded the stadium and everyone was in absolute heaven. The Dead were just as impressive and this show stands out as one of the best I ever saw on many levels.
How about between sets in the outfield? They were hosing us down and a bunch of knuckleheads were entertaining everyone by doing full contact body slides and general jack-ass type stunts. I swear this one guy took off his shirt and his entire torso was black blue purple like a side of beef that sly just pulverised.
* Back to the CSN set, does anyone have audio or video? I would love to hear it again. Please post if so.
God bless Jerry! and Brent! and Bill! and Keith! and Pig! and Robert! and Vince! (I almost forgot him)

I love love love the Dead but never got to travel to any shows until this one, my new wife and two of my friends and I traveled from Harrisburg 4 hours
...
to see this show with me being the only "Dead Head" the other 3 just along for the ride. CSN opened and BLEW MY MIND I remember the stadium SHAKING during Woodstock! The the Grateful Dead took the stage and I wished that I had been able to tour with them forever just perfection! And as a bonus I seen my very wonderful friend Marsha dancing on the stadium floor! She was the person who turned me on to the Dead in the 1st place! Was a miraculous night I will never forget thank you for sharing this!

I haven't listened to this show since it happened. Had been planning on only catching the Buffalo (my home at the time) show this tour, but a couple of

friends convinced me to truck down to Pittsburgh for this one (it wasn't a hard sell.......lol). Goddamn, I'm glad they did! Sure, stadium shows may not be everyone's cup of tea, but there's something about summertime dead, and they really delivered on this show. Thr first set rocks start to finish, and the second only gets better. Eyes>Estimated>Terrapin especially, but this whole show is great. I'm gonna listen to Buffalo next, to see which one is "better" (or at least sounds better to me), but it's hard to imagine the boys sounding much better than on this one.

What can I say. I started this tour in Philadelphia. My first time on the road with the Dead. Been to Philly shows in the past, but it was time to hit

the road.
CSN opened the show and blew me ayay. Woodstock for the first time in 30 years! The rain was coming down hard and they played harder. It was like yesterday. Man I miss the old days :-(
Then the Dead came out and ROCKED! One of the best shows of the summer tour!

Subject: Personal Top 5
Subject: Personal Top 5
Hearing this recording brings me right back, as I was luck enough to attend this show. We rolled up from D.C. and, while I hated going to shows without
...
tickets, were able to score some (plus some great d*ses) fairly easily, considering how popular that Dead was as this point. I got a sixth row floor seat for $25 ii you can believe it! Anyway, I was ridin' high on the music, among other things, and it was truly an incredible day. The thing that strikes me listening to it now is how well-played everything is and, of course, how on Jerry was at this show (even his voice). He was really workin' that MIDI. Who knows, maybe it was that short haircut he was sporting on the '90 summer tour! I saw just over 80 shows, and this one was in the top 5 for sure. For me, it ranks right up there with Merriweather, and 1st night Richmond, both in '85.
The first set tune selection is actually pretty ordinary, but, again, all the versions are great. And the Let it Grow closer soars and is just awesome. The second set, well, it was one of the best I ever saw! The top half of the second set clocks in at about an hour and all the tunes are smokin', esp. Eyes>Estimated. Those Eyes from 90 (and some 91, e.g., Greensboro) are so, so sweet! The five tunes (4 Bob's) post-drums was a lot for this era--and they're all great, esp. Wang Dang, Black Peter and Lovelight. Bob finished Lovelight strumming it out on one knee. Just an amazing show--the crowd was so juiced by the end. Wow--I remember that show so vividly it is hard to believe it was 19 years ago.
Finally, note the fact that there are no Brent tunes played--and he was typically doing at least a couple a show by this point. Sad that this was my second to last Brent show (RFK on 7/12 was my last), but his playing was great this night anyway. He was my favorite of the Dead's keyboard players, and was greatly missed both for his musicianship and voice. I mean to go from him to Vince was a real step down, but that's as different story for another day.
Couple of fun facts: It's true that CSN opened, but it's also true that they broke out Woodstock for the first time since the early 1970's. Also, the Dead had a prop that summer for the stadium shows which was this huge skeleton marionette that they displayed, during the second sets as I recall (and it danced--seriously I'm not making this up--I'm sure others can verify). Anyway, at the Three Rivers show one of the legs fell off (I think during Estimated but can't say for sure). But, in good Dead form, it kept on dancin...

I have been waiting for a good audience of this and here it is! The songs are incorrectly labled but it's all there! This was the first show where I noticed
...
crowds rushing onto the floor in any great numbers. The staff just looked on, not really trying to stop it (I was one of those people too...). Definitely one of the happiest, vibewise, I ever saw. The music is pure glowing positivity to match the sunny day it was played on. Criminally underrated because of (I think) the setlist as there were a few interesting lists around this show, but this is the best of the lot!
